They Believe They Will Become Like God

“BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”

(New Testament | 1 John 3:1 – 2)

The articles here are very shallow, and remind me of articles that one might see in the “Enquirer” or some other boneheaded paper. You evangelicals obviously no very little about the Bible that you hypocritically claim to support. First of all, it is written in Psalms 82:6: “Ye are gods and all of you are the children of the most high.” Christ even quoted this same scripture to people like you who also knew very little about the scriptures and tried to condemn Him for blasphemy(see John 10:33-35)! Also, to show that this means much more than one simply becoming immortal in the resurrection, Christ also states: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne even as I overcame and am sat down with my Father in His throne.” (see Revelations 3 :21)!

What is wrong with anti-Mormon critics?,
Why do people complain for things they are not concern of while they themselves do not carry to there life a little good that Mormons have? They speak of race, garments, funds, priesthood, temples, Godhood etc. every now and then, What do you anti-Mormons have instead?
Look here, What African leaders do to their people if not exploiting their own people?. Why aren’t they being civilized if not that they are of low race? ( or rather cursed?) Why don’t you Leave God accomplish his purpose on things he planed including your Owen selves? I myself am an African and feel good about the Mormon Doctrine. Remember without segregation there is no growth, and Agency is a law of Heaven, Without good there is no bad. God will chose amongst us who were real people and who were just a people.
What is bad about God being as Man? Was Jesus not a man? nor was his mother a woman? What is wrong with you people of low mind who can not reason along with life? Why do you think in your minds that God Just created us and he is so mindful of us and we do the very bad things you have ever head through all man-kinds life, and sill he dose not phase (wipe) us out of his face if we are not related to him? Who are you to judge GOD? Just be Good and ask God in sincerity about the Mormon Doctrine I know it is of God and Joseph Smith is and was His Prophet
Who did more that any body who lived on earth to the kingdom of God save Jesus only. And the church he organized is the only True kingdom of God on Earth today whether you like it or not. AntiMormons are dwindling in unbelief.

I think it’s funny that this is a “Mormon” myth, yet the scripture sited here is from the New Testament. If all Christians hold true to the teaching of Christ and the Bible, this should be an easy enough concept for them to grasp. That is if they actually studied the scriptures instead of glancing and finding what are considered “myths” which is scripture taken out of context.

Well, I too am a Christian, but the Mormon belief is NOTHING like any accepted Christian belief when it comes to this.
They attempt to use passages to prove God is like a man. Using that logic, “I will shelter you under my wings” may be interpreted to mean he’s also a parakeet!
A simple cursory study of the Book of Mormon will provide the reader with numerous factual errors, some rather disturbing ideals and a whole lot of laughter.

If you are created in gods image then where are your wings? I guess your belief is a little off also. Do your home work buddy. And where are your factual errors of the book of mormon, because the bible has a few also.

You can be like him not GOD but if you would like to be like him and you will be a goddess, remember GOD will not produce a BAD fruit for his children. The current answer in this question is ” We will be like him, because we are one on heaven he is our father and we are the children of him, he want us to be righteous and faithful also lovely like he don to us; not totally GOD, but totally a RIGHTEOUS SON OF HIS” try to pray now and ask him if my said testimony is true if not I promise to you i will dwell and perish on hell!

I do not take this as meaning people can become gods or that God is like us… I take is as we (christians) are not like the world. We are not blind to our sins as the world is, and there for we see/know God is Holy and although we are all sinners, Christ came, died, and was raised so that we might be forgiven. So we should honner Him and be Christ like in all we do.

I take it to be literal in every way. I believe we are spirit children of God, sent to earth to inhabit mortal bodies of earthly fathers and mothers who have the responsibility to teach their children the ways of righteousness. I also believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God. Born of immortal Father(God the Father) and mortal mother Mary. This gave him the power to overcome death in the resurrection. I believe we are here to learn to inhabit a body so that one day when we are resurrected we will be able and worthy through Christs atonement to live with God and Christ as immortals as they are.

The Problem with this belief is that this is what Satan offered Eve. “You will be just like God, Knowing Good and Bad”, but it is the more than just choosing independance. Satan specifically said you will be just like God.

You will know all the truth if you will pray with faithful heart and seriously praying to our father iin heaven and the truth shall be given to him and The Kingdom door and window will open for the truth of the truthful. JUST PRAY PLEASE YOU WILL BE BLESS THERE WILL NO SIDE EFFECT IF YOU WILL TRY TO PRAY.,,

I don’t understand why people dislike the thought of becoming God like. Though i do understand why Catholics don’t understand or like the thought. As far as i know concerning the Catholic religion God is basically a being with out form that can be everywhere at once and that Jesus is god as well along with the holy spirit. (I don’t know much about the Catholic religion so I’m sorry if i get somethings wrong.) In the bible it says that God created man in his own image. I don’t understand how that is done if God has no form. The LDS faith says that God has a human form, so already we are God like in that fashion. So if the LDS faith says that we can become God like or are God like is destroying the no form God that Catholic faith believes in. As far as i know becoming more God like will not be an instant thing. (I think that it will be more like working to gain different skills that make us more God like which if you believe in an eternal life after death could be possible by practicing pretty much forever.This last part is my own personal believe and isn’t LDS’ official believe.)
